When approaching this painting in order to analyze it iconographically‚ it is necessary to first look at all aspects of the form. If this aspect is ignored‚ it provides for an incomplete analysis of the painting. Once this is looked at‚ the iconography of the painting becomes much clearer

    The 1910s and 1920s were two important decades consisting of many significant events from World War One to Canada gaining its independence.
